Hi! Just a few words about chemo.- The first chemo I was on, adriamycin was the worst. But encourage your wife to be a good listener, because here's what happened to me. The very first day they gave me chemo, I went home and I reacted so badly, I called my whole family to gather around my bed so I could be with them while I died. I had such a burning in my chest- I figured that was it for me. Well, guess what it was? Heartburn. I had never experienced it in my whole life until then. Apparently the nurses gave me pepsid to take home with me but I forgot to take it. The second I took it, the heartburn disappeared. Another thing that drug gave me was nausea, but they gave me anti-nausea medicine. The drugs I am on now, xeloda and herceptin are not preventing me from anything. I feel great and blessed that we live in such a time to have all these new medicines.Onward and Upward! God Bless You, Cathy
